National lawmakers on Wednesday started to deliberate draft general provisions of civil law, which, if adopted, will bring the country one step closer to a long-absent civil code.
全國人大代表8日開始審議民法總則草案，該草案如果通過，我國將離長期缺席的民法典又近了一步。

After the adoption of the general provisions, lawmakers will step up work on compiling individual books on property, contract and marriage, among others, which will be integrated into a unified code.
民法總則出臺以后，全國人大將加緊財產、合同、婚姻等民事單行法律，之后匯編成為統一的民法典。

全國人大常委會委員長張德江在關于全國人民代表大會常務委員會的工作報告指出，民法總則（the general provisions of civil law）規(guī)定民法的基本原則（basic principles）和一般規(guī)則（general rules），在民法典（civil code）中起統率性、綱領性作用。

此前，民法總則草案已經先后3次提請審議，并通過中國人大網向社會公開征求意見。此次審議如若通過，我國將朝著民法典的出臺又邁進一步。
